Fish ID
Submitted by gruntre69 on Sun, 2017-07-09 10:08
Is this a bright redfish or swallowtail? I think bright redfish.
Caught it yesterday after a very average day out ranging from 105 meters and back into the 3 mile off Oceanreef.
Also caught a nice queeny, a just size breaksea cod and a good skippy.
Lost 3 good fish that I suspect were sharks because all 3 cut through the 80 Lb leader at or just above the hooks on the dropper loops.
Might move up a size in leader...
PS: I can't figure out how to get the photos the right way up, they are correct on my PC...
